« Celebrate Season 6 of Smallville With Season 5 DVDs | | Clipgasm: It Never Gets Old Edition »
With that in mind, we step back into the life of Repete for a little while as he and his girlfriend Megan go out on a date. Although Repete is one of the star defensive players on the Hoover roster, that doesn't mean that the social options in his hometown are going to suddenly expand. He's forced to make do with the options that he has, which means one of several things including, Go-Karts, Putt Putt, or the always popular "buy a ticket to the most boring movie so there are fewer people in the theater staring when you make out for 90 minutes". Repete is creative, and goes for perhaps the best option of them all: bowling!
Some people may think I may be joking about bowling, but you have to admit that it has a lot going for it. First, there is the shoes. I mean who wouldn't want to put on shoes worn by hundreds of other people with questionable hygiene? Then there's the DJ. Bowling alley DJs always play both kinds of music: country AND western. Finally, there's the atmosphere. Second-hand smoke, polyester shirts, and plumber's cracks as far as the eye can see! Does it get any better than that?
Right now, Alex wishes he had some girl problems because it would mean that he had, you know, a girlfriend. He decides that he needs to do something special for her so she doesn't decide to do something crazy and go with Goose to homecoming. Kristin is kind of worried about her boy situation, but to be honest, she, like the rest of the town, is still trying to figure out what the hell happened against Tuscaloosa prep. As she talks about the game with some of the other cheerleaders, we learn from Blair that Ross was still throwing up two days after his concussion. Even these girls can tell there is a lack of leadership, and Kristin even told Alex that he should become a leader. And Alex has reason to worry. How does he set himself apart from the hundreds of kids playing high school football in Alabama? Well, he's the starting safety on the defending state champs. Take that away, and he's just another meathead with a bad haircut, and Kristin can find any number of meatheads with bad haircuts that won't participate in school projects with her competition.

Tuscaloosa isn't THAT bad of a place :( How can you go wrong in a town with $3 pitchers?? You must've visited Cowtown, coughAuburncough.

Were the alternating names of Coach Pabst/Propst deliberate? There was also a Coach Pruitt in there. Same person as Pabst/Propst or someone else? As you can tell, I haven't watched this show, but the recap was entertaining, if a little confusing.

I can't believe you glossed over the big difference between Repete and his girlfriend. Psst: She plays for the other team. That team being Shades Valley.
We'll tolerate a lot of things in the South, but not mixing couples from different high schools. It just ain't right.

I've been wondering if Repete's dad is named Pete.
To unwise: Pruitt must be an assistant coach of some sort. Pruitt and Max's dad looked like they were on a nice date. Couldn't they have gone to Hooter's or something? And Pabst is Propst's nickname because he looks like a classic Pabst guy according to J-Unit.

Let me count the number of times the cheerleaders at my high school sat around the courtyard talking shit about the lack of leaderhsip on the football team.....uh, none. Get a life bitches!
Wasn't Repete complaining last week about not being able to find a girlfriend? Now he's got one that he loves...the only thing he loves are the smokers Megan's giving after practice.
Love the Nick Lachey diamond (cubic zirconia) earrings that Alex is sporting, how 98degrees of him.
Fleming's is actually a nice chain steak house owned by Peter Fleming, who also owns PF Chang's, hence the PF.

I just want to comment on when the coach and stepdad went out to eat..
I just loved when they guy was pouring the cheese sauce on his asparagus, making US Alabamians look like we had some class. Then the coach just messed it up with the whole "WHAT IS THAT?"
p.s. Im a military brat, lived everywhere, and moved to Huntsville Al about 7 years ago.

Tiffany I agree that asparagus thing was funny. That Pruitt guy acted like it was some kind of exoctic veggie.
I bet there is going to be a QB Controversy comin soon. I think the back up QB may be better. But he may play another position better so that is why he isn't QB. Makes me wonder if Ross is only the QB because of who his brother was.
I don't think there are any leaders on this team. I think they are all followers.

Yeah....Coach PASBT? Was that intentional? If not, it's still funny because that's what I think when I hear his name, too!
I read a recent Sports Illustrated (not sure of the date, but it has the Detroit Tigers on the cover---side note:YAYYY!!---) and S.I. lists the top 20 high school football teams in the Nation....Hoover's in there, there is a big article written about them, Ross the quarterback (he is a senior now, and i do agree, it seemed like the backup did a much better job in this ep than Ross did in the previous games...but apparantly S.I. doesn't think so) and yadda yadda yadda.
It was a good article. It also talked about last season's results.
I don't wanna give anything away so if anyone is interested they might want to see it online, or buy a copy somewhere.

I live in Hoover and here in Bama girls do talk about the upcoming football games, especially at a school like Hoover where everything revolves around football. Their amenities for the football team are comparable to a college. Also, Ross is an awesome QB. he is better than his brother (starter for Alabama) but too short to go to the next level. MTV doesn't show alot of the game actually being played. Like the first game Hoover beat Neese 59 to 20 and they made it seem close. The games are never as close as MTV plays off and the Tuscaloosa loss wasn't that bad either... they only lost by one touchdown. Otherwise think MTV is doing a good job portraying my old hogh school!
